Pro Tip from Our Technicians

When wiring this Solderless USB Adapter, our Sham Shui Po technical team strongly advises double-checking the standard USB 2.0 pinouts (VCC, D-, D+, GND, and Shield) before applying power. Ensure that no stray copper strands are touching adjacent terminals to prevent short circuits that could instantly damage your motherboard. If you are unsure about the wiring sequence for your specific mouse or keyboard repair, bring your broken cable to our physical store, and we will guide you through the correct terminal mapping.
